☆ ‘Roswell’: Take a Roadtrip to U.F.O. Country - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2024-03-12 | by ( Bill Brown | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
I listened to “Motorway to Roswell” by the Pixies a million times, but it’s not exactly where this movie came from. paperbacks I inhaled as a nerdy kid in Lubbock, Texas, and partly it was Lubbock itself. Then I took Robb Moss’s nonfiction filmmaking class at Harvard. For Marker, movies don’t replace our memories, exactly, but they create a little memorial in the place where a memory used to be. So that’s what my movie is for me now, 30 years later: a memento.
